Hyderabad: Iran's Al-Mustafa International
University proposes to set up its branch here and has sought
allotment of land for the purpose.
Iranian consul general in Hyderabad Mahmoud Safari Farkhund
Thursday called on Andhra Pradesh State Wakf Board chairman Syed
Ghulam Afzal Biabani, seeking allotment of Wakf land for setting
up of the centre.
Farkhund said the proposed branch would offer cultural,
educational and research services to both Muslim and non-Muslim
students. Initially, the university plans to offer courses in
humanities, Islamic studies and Persian language.
Noting five acres of land would be needed for the campus, he told
reporters that the university authorities were ready to make any
investment for the project depending on the extent of the land
allotted.
A technical committee of the university would visit Hyderabad
after the Wakf Board allots land for the same.
Biabani responded positively to the proposal but said the board
would take a final decision at its meeting. He said under the Wakf
Act, the land may be allotted on lease for a period of three years
but the same may be extended.
Headquartered at Iran's Qom town, the university already has
branches in many countries including Great Britain, Germany,
Lebanon, Syria, Malaysia and Thailand.
